Everyone has moments where they feel lost, they know their mental health is not great, are in a situation they don’t know how to manage, or are just dealing with some really big emotions. Our therapy & where to find it section is here to give you a little helping hand to find the help you might need or want.
Whilst you can find lots of suggestions for improving your mental health and reconnecting with the wonder around you on The Wonderment, sometimes you need more than articles and self help.
We have listed a host of reputable organisations that have the ability to guide or advise you, regardless of the situation you are dealing with. We even have a few dedicated to children.
Whilst we would initially signpost you to speaking with someone close to you, your GP or as young person, a trusted adult, we know that is not always easy, and in some cases not possible.
